This is a huge step in the right direction. Escambia County Commission reduces the county’s 2007-08 property tax millage rate from 8.017 mils to 6.9755 mils in the 2008-09 fiscal year – 13% reduction.
This represents a $27.7 million budget cut, about $23 million of which is property taxes, according to the PNJ.
Thank you, BOCC.
